Frequently Asked Questions
Answers for New Milford residents
Are homes in the Hackensack River blocks of New Milford more flood-prone?
Yes, homes in New Milford that are situated near the Hackensack River floodplain can be more susceptible to basement flooding from groundwater. Our approach for these New Milford properties is to install robust interior drainage systems, elevate stored items off the floor, and run continuous, sealed dehumidification. This system is designed to protect finished basements and valuable belongings from recurring water issues in New Milford.
Can my drywall be saved after a minor basement seepage event?
In many cases of minor seepage in New Milford homes, we can save the drywall without full replacement. Our technique involves using specialized cavity ventilation equipment that injects dry air into the wall bottoms, drying them from the inside out. We only perform targeted removal of drywall sections where our moisture meters show that readings remain persistently high, minimizing disruption and cost for our New Milford clients.
Will musty odors linger in my New Milford basement after you're done drying?
No, eliminating odors is a key measure of success for us. We ensure that musty smells do not linger in your New Milford home by using HEPA air filtration to capture airborne mold spores throughout the process. We also apply a professional-grade antimicrobial treatment to all affected surfaces. Before we consider a job complete, we verify that the air quality is clean and fresh, ensuring a healthy environment for your New Milford home.
How fast is your emergency response time to New Milford?
We pride ourselves on our rapid response to emergencies in New Milford. Our local crews are on standby 24/7, and we can typically have a team at your New Milford home in under an hour, on average. This immediate action is crucial for mitigating the extent of the water damage, preventing mold growth, and ultimately saving you money on restoration costs.
